For the first time, ever witness the collaboration, live at MAC, between two of Vancouver Island’s finest performers.

 Terry Boyle from Dublin, Ireland, arrived in Canada in 1989 after a successful six- year stint playing music in Boston, New York, Vermont and Austin Tx. With numerous TV and radio appearances in Ireland, touring in Europe as part of a group, and a solo album of traditional Irish folksongs, he released “Terry Boyle”, an album of original songs in 1998. “Life’s Too Short”, another CD of original songs, was released in November 2018 and his most recent release, “Cast a Cold Eye”, was released July 2025. Terry is a regular performer at folk clubs and other venues on Vancouver Island including Butchart Gardens.

 Terry’s songs, stories and good humour, have endeared him to audiences far and wide. With a vast repertoire of Celtic songs, some teary, some cheery, some sing-along and some from the archives, Terry has a song or story for almost every occasion.

As a songwriter, Terry’s style is varied, evolving and always entertaining. His songs are both autobiographical and descriptive of the complexities and quirks of modern life.Adrian Dolan is a multi-instrumentalist and composer based on Vancouver Island, perhaps best known for his work with the award-winning roots ensemble The Bills over the past 19 years. His skills as a violinist, fiddler, pianist and accordionist have landed him on stage with some of the best in the business, and along with a passion for composing, educating and leading a new generation of folk music into the 21st century.

Adrian also produced Terry’s latest album of original songs, adding his multi-instrumental prowess and creativity to the mix.

“ McMillan Arts Centre is our first performance together and I’m incredibly excited to see how our great recording relationship translates to the live stage.” Terry.
